ruimen
noun. fireplace, hearth
A word for “fireplace, hearth” in 1964 notes on Dalath Dirnen (DD) derived from the root √RUYU “blaze, red” (PE17/183). Its second element might be √MEN = “place” (its meaning from the 1930s), though in Tolkien’s later writings this root was more often used for “direction”.
Conceptual Development: Earlier fireplace words from the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s include ᴱQ. arin “hearth” derived from the early root ᴱ√ARA “be dry” (QL/32; PME/32) and ᴱQ. purin (purind-) “hearth” derived from the early root ᴱ√PUŘU [PUÐU] “consume by fire” (QL/76; PME/76).
Imbar place-name "the Habitation, = Earth," also "the principal part of Arda" (= the Solar System) (MR:337, also WJ:419 note 29)
